Here are a few photo's of me and my hubby.. lets see, first one I was about 250.... wedding pic I was about 275 and the one of us on the bench showing my rather large rear-end I'm about 285... I'm about 290 now. Since I'm fat everywhere I hide my weight pretty well I think :-) and when I mean fat everywhere, I mean.. I have the biggest calves in Texas. No shit. Matter of fact, I might have to do a calf challenge if anybody thinks thiers is bigger. Luckily, calves can be hidden... LOL

Me too, I am fat all over. I have huge legs according to my mom. I am 5'8" and my calves and thighs are solid. I am hoping that when I start losing its all over evenly.

Well, my waist is 13 inches smaller than my butt, so my waist is probably the smallest part of my body. Which, in my renn faire garb, its more figure flattering when I wear my bodices. Though, this last 20 pounds has actually made my belly pretty flabby! I was perfectly fine at 250, but once I got over like 270 it was just too much...

Great idea guys. The first one is from December in New Caledonia and the second was from November in New Zealand.

Sorry this is the only picture I have. I took it a couple of days ago because the docs office wanted a before picture. It looks horrible but since I put on even more weight in the last 6 months I have had no desire to make myself pretty (makeup, hair, ect).

I can't believe I am doing this. This is my official start photo from my highest weight (308 lbs, 11/18/2006). I started losing on my own, threw in the towel and got banded 11/09/07. I am down to about 260is now. No photos since being banded, down about 27ish pounds. I will have to do one soon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
